ahmad:6962Abū Bakr al-Ḥanafī > ʿAbd al-Ḥamīd b. Jaʿfar > ʿAmr b. Shuʿayb from his father from his grandfather

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Do not pluck out gray hair, for it is the light of a Muslim. Whoever has gray hair in Islam, Allah will write for him a good deed for every strand of gray hair, and He will erase a sin for him with it, and He will raise him in status with it."  

أحمد:٦٩٦٢حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْحَنَفِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَا تَنْتِفُوا الشَّيْبَ فَإِنَّهُ نُورُ الْمُسْلِمِ مَنْ شَابَ شَيْبَةً فِي الْإِسْلَامِ كَتَبَ اللهُ لَهُ بِهَا حَسَنَةً وَكَفَّرَ عَنْهُ بِهَا خَطِيئَةً وَرَفَعَهُ بِهَا دَرَجَةً

Do not pluck out grey hair. If any believer grows a grey hair in Islam, he will have light on the Day of Resurrection. (This is Sufyan's version). Yahya's version says: Allah will record on his behalf a good deed for it, and will blot out a sin for it.  

أبو داود:٤٢٠٢حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى ح وَحَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ الْمَعْنَى عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلاَنَ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لاَ تَنْتِفُوا الشَّيْبَ مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ يَشِيبُ شَيْبَةً فِي الإِسْلاَمِ قَالَ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ إِلاَّ كَانَتْ لَهُ نُورًا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَقَالَ فِي حَدِيثِ يَحْيَى إِلاَّ كَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَهُ بِهَا حَسَنَةً وَحَطَّ عَنْهُ بِهَا خَطِيئَةً  

ahmad:6937Yazīd > Muḥammad b. Isḥāq > ʿAmr b. Shuʿayb from his father from his grandfather

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prohibited plucking the gray hair, and he said, "It is the light of the believer." He also said, "No man becomes gray in Islam except that Allah raises him in rank by it, eradicates an evil from him by it, and writes a good deed for him because of it."  

أحمد:٦٩٣٧حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ قَالَ

نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ نَتْفِ الشَّيْبِ وَقَالَ هُوَ نُورُ الْمُؤْمِنِ وَقَالَ مَا شَابَ رَجُلٌ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ شَيْبَةً إِلَّا رَفَعَهُ اللهُ بِهَا دَرَجَةً وَمُحِيَتْ عَنْهُ بِهَا سَيِّئَةٌ وَكُتِبَتْ لَهُ بِهَا حَسَنَةٌ  

ahmad:6672Ismāʿīl > Layth > ʿAmr b. Shuʿayb from his father from his grandfather

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Do not pluck out gray hair, as it is a light for the Muslim. Every Muslim who has a gray hair in Islam, a good deed is recorded for him because of it, and he will be elevated in rank or a sin will be removed from him because of it."  

أحمد:٦٦٧٢حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ قَالَ

ahmad:6675Yaḥyá b. Saʿīd > Ibn ʿAjlān > ʿAmr b. Shuʿayb from his father from his grandfather

[Machine] About the Prophet ﷺ said, "Do not pluck out gray hair, as for every Muslim slave who grows gray hair in Islam, Allah writes for him a good deed for it and erases from him a sin through it."  

أحمد:٦٦٧٥حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلَانَ حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ لَا تَنْتِفُوا الشَّيْبَ فَإِنَّهُ مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ يَشِيبُ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ شَيْبَةً إِلَّا كَتَبَ اللهُ لَهُ بِهَا حَسَنَةًوَحَطَّ عَنْهُ بِهَا خَطِيئَةً  

ذِكْرُ كَتْبَةِ اللَّهِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا الْحَسَنَاتِ، وَحَطِّ السَّيِّئَاتِ، وَرَفْعَ الدَّرَجَاتِ لِلْمُسْلِمِ بِالشَّيْبِ فِي الدُّنْيَا

[Machine] The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said, "Do not pluck out gray hair, as it will be a light on the Day of Judgment. And whoever has gray hair in Islam, good deeds will be written for him because of it, and his sins will be forgiven through it, and he will be elevated in rank because of it."  

ابن حبّان:٢٩٨٥أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْمُثَنَّى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْحَجَّاجِ السَّامِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Do not pluck out gray hair, for surely one of you does not become gray-haired in Islam, except that Allah raises him in rank with it and writes for him a good deed by it, and erases by it a bad deed."
